CDOS.V.S., Su,n,,,e,hall. University' of Edinbu,gh, Edinburgh Etq9 I QH, UK SUMMARY Modes of action of anthelmintic drugs are described. Some anthelmintic drugs act rapidly and selectively on neuronmscular transmission of nematodes. Levamisole, pyrantel and morantel are agonists at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of nematode muscle and cause spastic paralysis. Dichlorvos and haloxon are organophosphorus cholinesterase antagonists. Piperazine is a GABA (T-amino-bu~ric acid) agonist at receptors on nematode muscles and causes flaccid paralysis. The avermectins increase the opening of glutanmte-gated chh)ride (GltlC1) channels and produce paralysis of phmTngeal pumping. Praziquantel has a selective efl'ect on the tegument of trematodes and increases permeability of calcium. Other anthehnintics have a biochemical mode of action. The benzimidazole drugs bind selectively to ~-tubulin of nematodes, cestodes and fluke, and inhibit nficrotubule formation. The salicylanilides: rafoxanide, oxych)zanide, brotianide and closantel and the substituted phenol, nitroxynil, are proton ionophores. Clorsuhm is a selective antagonist of fluke phosphoglycerate kinase and mutase. Diethylcarbamazine blocks host, and possibly parasite, enzymes involved in arachidonic acid metabolism, and enhances the innate, nonspecific immune system.

The tablets are effective against both immature and mature forms of adult tapeworms in both dogs and cats. The product is a highly effective treatment against all the common species of tapeworm infecting dogs and cats in the United Kingdom and Ireland including Echinococcus granulosus, Taenia ovis, Taenia pisiformis, Taenia multiceps, Taenia hydatigena, Taenia taeniaeformis, and Dipylidium caninum. Droncit is also effective against Echinococcus multilocularis (see 4.4) 4.3 Contraindications Do not administer to dogs weighing less than 2.5 kg Do not administer to unweaned puppies and kittens, as such animals are rarely infected with tapeworms.

To avoid reinfection with this parasite, flea control of the animal and its housing should be carried out at the same time. Unless flea control is complete an infected flea population may survive: i.e. re-treatment of the animal may be necessary. As a precautionary measure to prevent the establishment of Echinococcus multilocularis in the UK and Ireland, it is recommended that all dogs and cats entering the country be treated with praziquantel.

Only benzimidazoles are currently used in mass drug administration, with many instances of reduced activity. Terpenes are a class of compounds with anthelmintic activity. Thymol, a natural monoterpene phenol, was used to help eradicate hookworms in the U.S. South circa 1910. However, the use of terpenes as anthelmintics was discontinued because of adverse side effects associated with high doses and premature stomach absorption. Furthermore, the dose–response activity of specific terpenes against STNs has been understudied. Here we used hollow, porous yeast particles (YPs) to efficiently encapsulate (>95%) high levels of terpenes (52% w/w) and evaluated their anthelmintic activity on hookworms (Ancylostoma ceylanicum), a rodent parasite (Nippostrongylus brasiliensis), and whipworm (Trichuris muris). We identified YP–terpenes that were effective against all three parasites.

  • Review Article a BRIEF REVIEW on the MODE of ACTION of ANTINEMATODAL DRUGS
    Acta Veterinaria-Beograd 2017, 67 (2), 137-152 UDK: 615.284.03 DOI: 10.1515/acve-2017-0013 Review article A BRIEF REVIEW ON THE MODE OF ACTION OF ANTINEMATODAL DRUGS ABONGWA Melanie, MARTIN Richard J., ROBERTSON Alan P.* Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011, USA (Received 01 May, Accepted 24 May 2017) Anthelmintics are some of the most widely used drugs in veterinary medicine. Here we review the mechanism of action of these compounds on nematode parasites. Included are the older classes of compounds; the benzimidazoles, cholinergic agonists and macrocyclic lactones. We also consider newer anthelmintics, including emodepside, derquantel and tribendimidine. In the absence of vaccines for most parasite species, control of nematode parasites will continue to rely on anthelmintic drugs. As a consequence, vigilance in detecting drug resistance in parasite populations is required. Since resistance development appears almost inevitable, there is a continued and pressing need to fully understand the mode of action of these compounds. It is also necessary to identify new drug targets and drugs for the continued effective control of nematode parasites. Key words: anthelmintic, parasite, benzimidazoles, avermectins, cholinergic, emodepside, derquantel INTRODUCTION Anthelmintics are drugs that are used to treat infections caused by parasitic worms (helminths) [1]. There are three major groups of helminths namely: nematodes (roundworms), trematodes (fl ukes) and cestodes (tapeworms). These groups of helminths are divided into two phyla; nematodes (roundworms) and platyhelminths (trematodes and cestodes) [2]. Anthelmintics either kill worms or cause their expulsion from the body, without causing any signifi cant damage to the host [3].

  • Antiprotozoal and Antitumor Activity of Natural Polycyclic Endoperoxides: Origin, Structures and Biological Activity

The purpose of this review is a comparative analysis of the pharmacological potential of these natural products. According to PASS (Prediction of Activity Spectra for Substances) estimates, they are more likely to exhibit antiprotozoal and antitumor properties. Some of them are now widely used in clinical medicine. All polycyclic endoperoxides presented in this article demonstrate antiprotozoal activity and can be divided into three groups. The third group includes endoperoxides, which show weak antiprotozoal activity with a reliability of up to 70%, and this group includes only 1.1% of metabolites. The second group includes the largest number of endoperoxides, Citation: Dembitsky, V.M.; which are 65% and show average antiprotozoal activity with a confidence level of 70 to 90%. Lastly, Ermolenko, E.; Savidov, N.; the third group includes endoperoxides, which are 33.9% and show strong antiprotozoal activity with Gloriozova, T.A.; Poroikov, V.V.

  • Marine Pharmacology in 1999: Compounds with Antibacterial
    Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C 132 (2002) 315–339 Review Marine pharmacology in 1999: compounds with antibacterial, anticoagulant, antifungal, anthelmintic, anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet, antiprotozoal and antiviral activities affecting the cardiovascular, endocrine, immune and nervous systems, and other miscellaneous mechanisms of action Alejandro M.S. Mayera, *, Mark T. Hamannb aDepartment of Pharmacology, Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, Midwestern University, 555 31st Street, Downers Grove, IL 60515, USA bSchool of Pharmacy, The University of Mississippi, Faser Hall University, MS 38677, USA Received 28 November 2001; received in revised form 30 May 2002; accepted 31 May 2002 Abstract This review, a sequel to the 1998 review, classifies 63 peer-reviewed articles on the basis of the reported preclinical pharmacological properties of marine chemicals derived from a diverse group of marine animals, algae, fungi and bacteria. In all, 21 marine chemicals demonstrated anthelmintic, antibacterial, anticoagulant, antifungal, antimalarial, antiplatelet, antituberculosis or antiviral activities. An additional 23 compounds had significant effects on the cardiovascular, sympathomimetic or the nervous system, as well as possessed anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressant or fibrinolytic effects. Finally, 22 marine compounds were reported to act on a variety of molecular targets, and thus could potentially contribute to several pharmacological classes. Thus, during 1999 pharmacological research with marine chemicals continued
